Army chief: Eliyahu Asheri’s killers didn’t plan to negotiate for his release
OC Central Command Yair Naveh said that the killers of kidnapped youth Eliyahu Asheri “Did not plan to hold any negotiations with a live hostage but a dead one.”
“We didn’t manage to bring the boy home, but we closed the case,” Naveh said. “Asheri was kidnapped at the Ofra Junction and was brought to ramallah. He was murdered in cold blood, and was shot at zero range, through a pillow meant to mute the sound of the shot.” (Efrat Weiss)
